Get Involved

We couldn’t do our work without the support and engagement of our Volunteers, Sponsors, Partners and Donors. There are many ways you can get involved with WIB to make an impact and engage, empower and educate women in the life sciences and beyond. 

Volunteer Leadership: The Core of WIB

Women In Bio is almost entirely run by member volunteer leaders, from the President and Board to the Chapter chairs and committees. Whether you prefer to get involved with a finite, limited project such as running a local event, or to help build our non-profit organization at a local or national level, we have skill building positions for you that provide concrete accomplishments for your resume.  As a WIB leader, you will have the chance to closely network with other women in the life science industry from across North America, giving you an edge when pursuing new job opportunities.

Leaders can work with their local chapters. Most leaders join a committee, while some help out with special projects.  

The chapter committees and leadership positions include:

  • Communications Committee
  • Membership Committee
  • Programs (Events) Committee
  • Sponsorship (Funding) Committee
  • Young Women In Bio Committee
  • EWIB Committee 
  • MAPS Committee (not all chapters)
  • Treasurer (not all chapters)
